FatBoy Barrel

Purchased a 67mm Fatboy because I was consistently playing a little sharp, and hoping tone would improve a little. So far, the Fatboy seems to be helping in both ways.

I love Fatboys!

I heard about the fatboy and took the plunge. Everything good thing I read is true. I put it on the day I got it and played. My husband immediately commented, "Wow! That really makes a difference. The sound is so much warmer and richer." In addition, I was amazed by how quickly it arrived and I live in Europe. And . . . the customer service was top-notch. Thank you.

Amazing Product

The Backun Fatboy Barrel is amazing! It produces a loud sound. It has a very bright tone! My clarinet is plastic. So when I put the Grenadilla Wood barrel on my instrument. IT SOUNDS LIKE A WOODEN CLARINET!
